[Archived] German-Speaking Rovers Players

[cn174]

For a presentation I'm doing I'm trying to work out all the players who have played for Rovers who are from German speaking countries. I can't think of many who have played in the first team. Any advances on the below? ..

Germany - Sergio Peter, Marcus Babbel

Austria - ?

Switzerland - Bruno Berner, Oumar Konde, Stephane Henchoz, Johann Vogel

Liechtenstein - ?

Sebastien Pelzer? David Yelldell?

EDIT

didn't read it properly!

German-speaking, or strictly from German-speaking countries? Because the only contribution I can think of is that Mark Hughes must have picked some up whilst he was at Munich! And possibly Hoilett whilst at St Pauli, but doubtful he became fluent. Wondering why you would be putting this in your presentation...

From German-speaking countries.

I've gotta do a presentation in my German course, so I've chose to do it about Rovers (cos I have nowt else to talk about!) and I was going to relate it to Germany etc by saying about players from there, and when Rovers have played in Gemrany/Austria.

Does this widen the net or is it cheating? Depends on how you define German-speaking countries ...

Although Henchoz is from a country which is , partially, a German speaking country, my impression is he is a French speaker.

The topic title is German Speaking Rovers Players, not German Nationality.

I believe that'll be the case too, the Swiss case is funny as certain areas really only do speak the one language.

RSC - he was with Bayern for years

To make it more complicated you apparenlty can add The Netherlands... I disagree but my german friends count a small corner as german speaking...

I know, but I already asked about that earlier in the topic, and his answer was he wants players from German-speaking countries.

She!

[bazza]

I know he wasn't a player, but he was our manager.

Roy Hodgson probably speaks German.

I wonder, since he cannot pronounce his Rs properly, what his Spanish sounds like to the Spaniards.

[bluebruce]

She!

She? Oh ok, had no idea!

How about Marc Keller? I know he's French but he's from the Alsace region which has been in French and German hands and is bilingual.
